Colorado National Golf Club

Great course looks like some items were repaired over the winter. Seems to be moving along quickly. Pace of playbwas great but I'm judging based off a 40 degree day. Nice rolling elevation which you don't normally get in the denver area. Great change of pace

I really enjoy playing Colorado National when I come to town. It’s well taken care of and challenges you to execute each and every shot. Looking forward to the next round!

Beautiful day in the Rockies. Course was in great shape from tee box to greens. Views to the west were very nice. Our second time here and will return.

This place steals your money. Called the night before to cancel one of our players, so we had a 3some instead of a 4some and they did not update their tee sheet. They charged me for the rider who I called and canceled. Then when calling he told me that they show that we had 4 people tee off, when he literally just told me that I had a no-show. They cant keep their story straight.

BEWARE of this place and double check your credit card/bank statement transaction history.

The pace of play was too slow to finish a full 18. The sun was setting rapidly when we were in 16 so we decided to skip a hole since the group ahead of us seemed to be dilly-dallying the whole back 9 to our surprise we came up on a whole log jam of what had to be 4 different groups on 18 all trying to wrap up. They either need to space out the tee times more and/or end the latest one earlier.

Other than that their native grasses off the fairway absolutely eat any ball that comes near it, super deceptive and the GPS on the carts isn't super active so if you get near those grasses it kills the speed and you have to reverse out at like 1 mph

Colorado National is challenging, but playable. The mountain views and changes in elevation make every hole scenic and fun to play.

Course is super challenging and is in amazing shape given its only April. Will most definitely be back!!

Your experience at the Colorado National Golf Club is greatly enhanced if you play on a sunny, clear day. The backdrop of the front range foothills and snow-capped mountains is stunning. Towering above all the mountains is the 14er Longs Peak at 14,255 feet. The place has the best view from any driving range you can find. This is the home course of the University of Colorado golf team, located in Erie, CO, which is 15 miles east of Boulder, CO

Favorite holes on the front 9 were 1,2,3,6 & 9. Holes 2 & 3 head right toward Longs Peak. When you’re in the fairway on hole 6 and looking backwards, a stunning few of the front range. I think the front nine is the better nine.

The back nine has some unusual holes and blind shots. Hole 12 is a par 5, all uphill. The green is very tricky and hard to see all the nuisances from your 2nd or 3rd shots. The next hole is a blind shot over a fairway bunker. The course does have GPS screens, so this helps you navigate the holes easier. The par 15th hole is very unusual. Really tough to get a feel how the hole flows. The second shot has a split fairway, but the right side is very small and hard to see. However, it does head right towards Longs Peak. The best hole on the back nine is the downhill par 3, 14th hole, with the mountains as a backdrop.

Hole 16 is a par 3 with a huge green with 3 distinctive sections of the green. Hole 17 is a drivable par 4, over water for the long hitters. Hole 18 is just a difficult hole. Long, water, two-tiered green.

I felt the condition of the course had slipped since the last time I played there. There were areas of brown grass throughout the course. On the tees and in the fairways. The bunkers do not have enough sand in them still. The greens were ok and firm – hardly made a ball mark. They were poa annua greens – not real fast, bumpy and never break as much as you think. However, they fixed some of the rough spots around the cart paths and the waterfall between holes 10 & 18. As posted on their website, doing a lot of work on hole 3 with some drainage issues.

The starter was pleasant and told us you can see the pin from every tee, except hole 2. The price of $75 was very reasonable for this quality of golf course.

The course is in terrible condition.

It needs water BAD! I know it is early season but it is lacking some serious water. Not uncommon to be hitting off dirt in the middle of the fairway.

The sand traps are very hard.
